BACKGROUND OF THE INVESTIGATION
On May 14, 2015 at approximately 1324 hours, DC Fire and EMS were dispatched to
3201 Woodland Drive Northwest Washington, DC for the report of a house fire. Upon arrival,
firefighters found smoke and fire visible from a second floor window of a three story residential
home. Firefighters forced entry into the residence's front door and began fire suppression. ‘The
fire was contained to a second floor room and closet, with minor extension to an adjacent
bathroom, While extinguishing the fire, firefighters found the charred remains of a juvenil
sized human being on a bed in the room which was on fire. Due to the thermal damage of the
body, investigators were unable to determine the race or sex of the human remains. The remains
stayed on the scene. Additionally, an adult aged male and two adult aged females were found in
an adjacent bedroom. All three of those adults appeared to have suffered trauma to the body.
Two were removed from the residence and found to have no signs of life and remained at the
scene. The second adult aged female was removed from the residence and transported to
Georgetown Hospital where lifesaving efforts failed. Autopsies of all four victims have been
‘conducted by the District of Columbia OCME and for all four decedent's the cause of death is,
various traumatic injuries and the manner of death is homicide. All four victims have been
positively identified.
6. As the investigation progressed and the crime scene was searched it was learned that
cellular telephone with target number 202-497-5604, belonging to decedent Savvas Savopoulos,
‘was not located, Your affiant believes that this cellular telephone was in the possession decedent
Savvas Savopoulos at the time this offense was committed. Your affiant believes that the call
detail records and the cellular tower locations for the targeted cellular telephone will lead
ot 3(6ce4ut
members of the United States Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department to the location
and identification of person(s) who took the cellular telephone during the commission of this
offense.
‘The undersigned further requests that this warrant, and any related documents be scaled
until further order of the Court, as disclosure of these materials at this time would seriously
jeopardize the ongoing investigation,
| swear that the statements made in the foregoing affidavit are true and correct to the best
of my knowledge.
